Core cross-linked star polymers via controlled radical polymerisation
Open accessAbstract
Star polymers are comprised of multiple arms or branches radiating from a central point or core and have been of huge scientific interest since they were first prepared sixty years ago, as a result of their unique physical properties. Star polymers are not just an academic curiosity, but are currently employed or under investigation in a wide range of industries and commercial materials ranging from engine oils and coating technologies to contact lenses and biomedical devices. Although there are many different types of star polymers and methods for their synthesis, recent advances in the field of controlled radical polymerisation have enabled the facile production of complex star polymer architectures from a large range of monomer families, without the requirement of highly stringent reaction conditions. In particular, well-defined, nanometre scale core cross-linked star (CCS) polymers, which are readily accessible by controlled radical polymerisation techniques, have been increasingly prominent in the scientific literature. As a result, this feature article provides a comprehensive review covering the development, functionalisation, physical properties and application of core cross-linked star polymers prepared by controlled radical polymerisation and the arm-first approach.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
